Devangshu Datta
Crypto Storm:  How India Became Ground Zero of a Financial Revolution
Author: Sundeep Khanna
Publisher: HarperCollins
Pages: 240
Price: Rs 499

This book offers an anecdotal, journalistic history of cryptocurrencies (CC), with a special focus on the desi experience. It doesn’t pretend to be definitive in its coverage, nor does it offer policy prescriptions. It actively avoids technical details, and it doesn’t delve into the pros and cons of crypto versus fiat currency. What it does offer is many snapshots into the Indian CC ecosystem and it is, thus, valuable in its documentation of the social and behavioural trends driving CC adoption.
